The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 14
Zheng Hai and Xiao Diyun followed the eunuch Zhao Liu to turn left and right, passing through several alleys.
Zheng Hai stepped forward quickly, and couldn't help but ask: "Gonggong Zhao, where are we going?" Didn't you say that you want to arrange a place for us to stay, why did you bring us outside the palace?" "
What's the hurry, isn't this the place to take you to live! It's just ahead! Don't talk nonsense, let's go!" Zhao Liu turned around, and said another bad meal.
The little beggar Di Yun asked angrily, "Why is there no place for us to live in the huge palace, why did you bring us here!"
Zhao Liu came to a decaying wooden door, turned his head and squinted at Zheng Hai and Xiao Di Yun, stretched out a hand, and said contemptuously: "Is this there?" Zheng Hai and Di Yun
glanced at each other, they knew that this eunuch Zhao Liu was asking them for money.
The little beggar said, "Where do we have money?"
"I know you don't have money!" Zhao Liu's face was angry, and then he said: "So, I found a good place for you! If it weren't for the face of Manager Zhao, you two beggars wouldn't even be able to live in this! Go in!"
Zhao Liuyi pushed open the rotten wooden door and babbled, startling himself.
Zheng Hai and the little beggar entered through two rotten wooden doors, and a cluttered courtyard appeared in front of them. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and on the ground were some toppled wooden shelves. When they turned around again, they found that Zhao Liu was gone.
Zheng Hai and the little beggar Di Yun walked into the dilapidated courtyard and pushed open the door of the house covered with cobwebs and dust, apparently the house had been unoccupied for a long time.
Compared to the dilapidated wooden houses of the Sea Dragons, the houses here are dusty but still well furnished. Zheng Hai and the little beggar cleaned the cobwebs and dust in the house, and then went out into the yard to continue tidying up the messy yard.
The little beggar Di Yun complained: "Brother Hai, they are too bullying!"
Zheng Hai said while holding up the fallen wooden shelf in the courtyard: "People are under the eaves, we have to bow our heads, our temporary forbearance is so that we don't have to swallow our anger in the future." Xiaoyun, you have to remember that the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and only when he suffers hardships can he become a master. "
Brother Hai, I just can't get used to his lofty appearance. Instead of this, we might as well go back to the Sea Dragon Gang..."
Zheng Hai said: "If you want to go back, you can go back by yourself, I will definitely stay in the Yanwang Mansion!" When
the little beggar heard this answer, he closed his mouth and followed Zheng Hai to clean up the courtyard again.
Zheng Hai found an old fishing net in the yard, which hung on a long bamboo pole by the kitchen. Although the fishing net is hung with some branches and leaves, the whole is still relatively intact.
Zheng Hai thought of many things from the old fishing nets, and he crossed over here because he was entangled in the fishing nets... There are fishing nets here, which means that there are rivers and lakes nearby where you can fish...
When the little beggar saw Zheng Hai looking at the fishing nets, he came over to help clean the nets.
Zheng Hai cleaned up the fishing nets, habitually set up a few simple trap devices in the yard, and went out with the fishing nets and the little beggar.
In a secluded corner of King Yan's mansion, the eunuch Zhao Liu took some broken silver from the guard Lu Xing and left happily.
The guard Ge San walked out from the side and said to Lu Xing: "Brother Lu, I have already contacted the people you asked me to find, when will we start?" Lu Xing
showed a smug look on his face, his eyes were ruthless, and he said decisively: "Just tonight!
The yard was an abandoned house, and not far from the yard happened to be the Taiye Pond. Tomorrow morning, maybe there will be two more bodies in the Taiye Pool..."
Ge San didn't say any more, Lu Xing nodded, and asked again: "Is the person you are looking for reliable? Will it
involve us?" Ge San replied: "Please rest assured Brother Lu about this! The younger brother is looking for people from the rivers and lakes, and I have not shown up, so it is impossible to involve us."
"Then can they deal with that beggar named Zheng Hai? Do you know that kid does have some skills!"
Ge San said: "This little brother also thought of it." Those two are masters of the Tao, and it is said that they have done many shady deeds. There is no reason to ask them to kill two beggars, but it cost me twenty taels of silver to get them
!" "That's good!"
The two of them looked at each other, and a wicked smile appeared on their faces at the same time. They seemed to have seen the scene of Zheng Hai's floating corpse in the liquid pool.
The night was like ink, and the sound of the watchman came from the street in the distance, and it was already the second watch.
In the courtyard where Zheng Hai was, except for the kitchen, which revealed the fire, everything else was shrouded in darkness. The kitchen window reflected the firelight, and the smell of grilled fish wafted from the kitchen.
In the kitchen, a firewood fire is blazing.
The little beggar sat by the fire, and from time to time he put a stick or two of wood on the fire that was burning. His eyes were fixed on a stick with a skewered grilled fish, which was set on two branches and roasted by the fire.
Zheng Hai was flipping the wooden stick, the fish meat on the wooden stick had already appeared a little burnt yellow, the white gas was rising, and there was still some oil and water bubbling from the fish.
"Brother Hai, it's so fragrant!Is the fish grilled?" the little beggar Di Yun swallowed his saliva, staring at the grilled fish, his tongue licking his lips from time to time, he hadn't tasted meat for a long time.
Zheng Hai looked at the little beggar's appearance of a little gluttonous cat, the corners of his mouth naturally turned up, and he smiled. He responded, "Right now, wait a minute!" Although it was a
kitchen, there was only an abandoned stove in the kitchen, and there was not even a decent pot. There are no vegetables, rice, flour and grains, not even sauce, vinegar, salt and other seasonings that are common in the kitchen.
The only useful tool that could be found was a rusty boning knife that Zheng Hai picked up on the ground. Zheng Hai sharpened the boning knife to remove the rust, and the knife surface was as good as new. It was precisely because of this knife that Zheng Hai was spared from disemboweling the fish with his hands or branches.
Zheng Hai had no choice but to abandon the stove, make a fire on the ground, and simply set up two branches to grill fish for the little beggar.
Zheng Hai handed a grilled fish to the little beggar: "Here, this is freshly grilled, but unfortunately there are some seasonings missing, you can taste it!"
Xiao Diyun took the grilled fish, swallowed his saliva, put it in his mouth, took a small bite and quickly took it away.
"How does it taste?" Zheng Hai saw a painful look on Xiao Diyun's face, a little strange, and couldn't help but ask.
The little beggar grinned, and spit out one word: "Hot
!" "Hehe, you little gluttonous cat
, I thought the grilled fish I grilled was not delicious!" Zheng Hai smiled, and once again shifted his gaze to another fish that was being grilled on the fire, carefully observing the color change of the fish and the oil on the fish, slowly spinning.
"It's so delicious! Brother Hai, you eat it too!" The
little beggar ate a few bites of the grilled fish before he remembered that Zheng Hai hadn't eaten it yet, so he handed the grilled fish in his hand to Zheng Hai.
Zheng Hai looked at Xiao Diyun and said with relief on his face: "If it's delicious, you can eat more, you eat yours! That one is yours, and I'll be okay with this one! Wait a few more, and there are two more wooden barrels outside
..." Xiao Diyun hurriedly said: "Brother Hai, you have to save your food! Keep it for tomorrow..."
"Don't worry! Eat if you want, eat more!" Zheng Hai comforted the little beggar, "What we have to eat in the future! With fishing nets in our hands, we don't have to worry about having no fish to eat in the future!"
The little beggar nodded, took back the grilled fish, and nibbled on it again.
Zheng Hai also took the grilled fish and ate it with relish. Although there is no seasoning, the grilled fish is original, but it tastes so delicious when you are hungry! Compared with the wilderness survival training, Zheng Hai feels that this grilled fish is already delicious in the world.
Zheng Hai and Xiao Diyun feasted on grilled fish and burped contentedly around the fire.
Zheng Hai cleared a sleeping place by the fire, and they slept by the fire.
Although there are bedrooms in this courtyard, there are only bed frames in the house, and there are no items such as mats. Therefore, Zheng Hai and Di Yun would rather fall asleep by the kitchen fire.
Zheng Hai hugged Xiao Diyun, who was already asleep. He gently put down little Diyun and put a few large pieces of wood into the fire, expecting that it should be able to burn until dawn. He also lay down beside little Diyun.
Knock, knock, a few beatings outside the courtyard came from a distance, and it was already three watches. In the silence of the night, there was a faint voice of the watchman: "Nothing to do! Nothing to do, no trouble!" On
a big tree outside the courtyard wall, two black-clad masked faces were staring in the direction of the kitchen in the courtyard.
A man in black said: "Big brother, we have been staring at it for a while, they should have fallen asleep." Let's do it!
" "Wait a minute
!" "Big brother, I've been smelling the smell of grilled fish for a long time, and if I wait like this, I'll be hungry!" A man in black with thin eyebrows and a long face complained a little.
The other man in black was tall, with a rough face, and said in a low voice: "I do things to the sky, and I never miss! Not only because I am good at kung fu, but also because I have enough patience." Don't be too long, you kid, learn from me! A hairy killer can't live
long!" "Yes, the eldest brother taught
you a lesson!" "Twenty taels of silver kill two beggars, if these two beggars don't have any ability, do you think someone will pay this price? Don't think about it, how can there be a pie in the sky in this world!" The man in black whispered to the overlord again: "If you want to, it is also a trap instead of a pie!"
The man in black with thin eyebrows and a long face nodded and said seriously: " Big brother, you are so powerful, this can be analyzed!"
"Don't forget, you and I are both burdened with murders. If it is because of twenty taels of silver, it will be more than worth the loss
!" Xiang Batian turned his head, his thick eyebrows were like ink, his eyes were like torches, staring at the man in black with thin eyebrows and long face, and said: "Boy, learn to be smart! Although you are my brother Xiaotian's subordinate, if you get in the way of my business, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" "Little don't
dare!Little one, listen to the words of the eldest brother!" The man in black with thin eyebrows and long face was frightened by Xiang Batian's eyes.
Xiang Batian said: "Wait a while, you go in first, and I will ambush behind." Let's kill them one by one, quietly, and kill them directly..."
The night is dark and the wind is high, and it is the time to kill.
The man in black with thin eyebrows and a long face was like a ghost, gently entering over the wall.
Zheng Hai and Xiao Diyun fell asleep by the warm fire.
